Saddle Peak 1 of 9

Saddle Peak 1 of 9

A significan portion of Saddle Peak (right side of photo) did not slide.  This area was quickly recieving wind blown snow and posed a potential hazard to rescuers below the cliffs.  For this reason the number of rescuers and the total search time was limited.  Fortunately no one was reported missing and no one was observed getting caught in the avalanche.  The Bridger Bowl Ski Patrol conducted a thorough and excellent interview of all witnesses.
